dc.description.abstract | The role of the central nervous system (CNS) in the modulation of heart activity induced by feeding was investigated in the terrestrial slug, Limax maximus . Intact slugs and semi-intact preparations were used to examine the effects of food, non-nutritive bulk, digestive tract distension, and the concentration of hemolymph glucose on the control of heart activity. The heart rate of intact slugs increased following ingestion of food or nonnutritive bulk and in response to injections of glucose. The heart rate of semi-intact preparations increased in response to gradual crop inflation and to perfusion of the heart with a glucose solution for longer than 30 min. The present results indicate that the increase in heart rate observed in intact slugs following a meal is mediated in part by the CNS and in part is a direct response of the heart musculature. The CNS mediates an immediate response to proprioceptive input from stretch of the crop while the heart musculature responds directly to increased hemolymph glucose concentration following ingestion of food. | en_US |
